Iran’s Other Leverage: WATER

What do the Gulf States need? Drinking Water. OoooOops 😬 💥

"Instead of armies clashing across borders, the battlefield shifts to the systems that allow modern societies to function: oil terminals, shipping lanes, electrical grids, and increasingly desalination plants"

Spain Shows Europe How to Oppose Trump’s Illegal War in Iran Donald Trump is angry because Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, hasn’t backed the war on Iran. Sánchez’s stand is hardly radical, but it seems like it now that almost all of Europe has fallen in ...

Great summary

"The consistency of Spain’s position contrasts sharply with the gibberish from other European capitals chasing Trump’s favor. The will to keep the United States engaged on Kyiv’s side in the war in Ukraine can partially explain European submission, but it does not justify it"

No, There Was No ‘Imminent Threat’ From Iran Team Trump shows that words made to mean everything will cease to mean anything.

'Here’s what now constitutes an imminent threat, according to the Trump administration
1 “eventually” or “one day”
2 more than three years away
3 the first part of a multi-stage process
4 Imminent can refer to a pathway
5 Imminent can refer to ambitions
6 the construction of a shield"

Trump Regime:
Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated
A couple months later:
Iran is about to build nuclear weapons
Also:
We don't have enough bombs to help Ukraine
A couple months later:
We have an endless supply of bombs to drop on Iran
The Trump Regime needs to make up their damned mind.

🤣🤣🤣
Good old Dubai, resolutely fighting for the right to exploit imported slave labour to build luxury homes for the world's tax avoiders, and beautiful holiday hotels for the ethically deficient.

How Britain could be involved in a US attack on Iran Trump wants Britain’s help with another illegal war in the Middle East, which could have far reaching consequences

RAF Fairford & Diego Garcia: essential
UK's new Jewel in the Crown: Bomber runways

"RAF Fairford with a 10,000' runway is the US Air Force’s only European airfield for heavy bombers. Diego Garcia has a runway long enough for US B-2 stealth bombers that could bomb deep inside Iran"

Iran could be next Syria, warns former British ambassador Sir Richard Dalton tells Declassified that US and Israel failed to take break up of Iran and its consequences into account

Disintegration, long term

"Sir Richard Dalton, Britain’s top official in Tehran from 2003 to 2006, said the break up of Iran could see regime supporters take up arms against an uprising which would also be armed. Iran could easily end up mired in civil war like Syria, Afghanistan or Libya"/

Trump's ‘move fast and break things’ war slams into economy South Asian and Gulf countries may get hit particularly hard, mostly on energy, remittances, and agriculture. Here's how.

”Trump's ‘move fast and break things’ war slams into economy. South Asian and Gulf countries may get hit particularly hard, mostly on energy, remittances, and agriculture. Of the 15M barrels through the Strait of Hormuz every day, roughly 12.5M go to Asia"

Trump’s Iran War Could Be an Even Bigger Catastrophe Than Iraq Remarkably, Trump seems on the verge of outdoing George W. Bush in reckless, stupid militarism.

Why big tech billionaires are trying to make dystopian science fiction into reality The Nation’s Jeet Heer on how Thiel, Musk, and Bezos are animated by Heinlein, Rand, and Campbell

Instead of watching Trump lie and ramble for an hour tonight, you should watch, listen, or read the latest Theory of Change episode in which @jeetheer.bsky.social and I discuss how tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are literally basing their politics on sci-fi novels.

The Real Reason

Trump and Netanyahu Want to Turn Iran Into a Failed State This war looks designed to cause maximum chaos and instability. The world will pay a high price.

Lots of conflicting war aims, but one of them, pushed by Netanyahu, is turn Iran into a failed state. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A Conflict Without Reason Has Become a Dangerous Holy War Lacking a clear rationale for the attack on Iran, Trumpists are increasingly talking like crusaders.

The White House has no clear rationale for the war so is increasingly selling it as a holy crusade -- a very dangerous and desperate move. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Only Love Can Set the Looksmaxxer Free For the looksmaxxer, women are irrelevant except as currency to buy rank over other men. Undoing these market logics with real love is the only way to liberate the looksmaxxer from lonely self-optimiz...

Scary summary

"Looksmaxxing is a setup for total estrangement from women, and pervasive hostility between men. It can only result in further alienation, as the looksmaxxer comes to see his own life as something not to be lived and enjoyed, but to be performed for an imaginary panel of judges"

🎯🎯

just thinkin about how the trump pretext for war was “we held 3 meetings with iran and didn’t get what we wanted so that was that”

3 meetings

THREEEEEE meetings

ONE TWO THREE
